The Acting Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Hon. Kayode Oladele, has reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to fairness, inclusivity, and excellence in public service delivery, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Oladele stated this on Tuesday in Abuja during a two-day workshop themed “Strengthening Leadership and Management Excellence in the Federal Character Commission in Line with the Renewed Hope Agenda,” organised for the Commission’s directors.
He described the workshop as a defining moment in the FCC’s efforts to reposition itself as a strategic institution promoting Nigeria’s unity, equity, and inclusive governance.
According to him, the Commission’s constitutional mandate under Section 14(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is to promote, monitor, and enforce equitable distribution of posts, socio-economic amenities, and infrastructure across the country’s federating units.
“When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unveiled the Renewed Hope Agenda, he laid out a bold vision of governance anchored on equity, justice, inclusivity, and performance-driven leadership.
“At the very core of this agenda lies a moral and constitutional imperative — to ensure that every Nigerian, regardless of ethnic origin, religion, gender, or place of birth, is given a fair and equal opportunity to participate in governance and national development,” he said.
Oladele stressed that for the Commission to effectively carry out its constitutional role, its leadership must reflect fairness, professionalism, and efficiency. He added that the workshop was designed to strengthen internal leadership and management capacity in order to deliver better service to Nigerians.
He also highlighted key challenges facing the FCC, including digital transformation, manpower planning, transparent recruitment processes, and the need for stronger inter-agency collaboration.
The Secretary to the Commission, Muhammad Musa, described the workshop as “very important and crucial,” noting that it would enhance the performance of directors and senior officials in achieving the FCC’s mandate and the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Similarly, the Director of Public Affairs and Communication, Chizea Christopher Chukwudi, said the workshop was timely and aimed at strengthening staff performance while correcting public misconceptions about the Commission.
He added that it would improve the management team’s capacity to promote fairness, transparency, and inclusivity in federal appointments and opportunities.
